I work for Meals on Wheels and recently I got a new client on my route who doesn’t speak English and, obviously, I don’t speak Spanish. He is always by himself when I deliver so there is no one to translate. His daughter signed him up and was supposed to be around to help but I’ve never seen her and the higher-ups are always forgetting to get in touch with her to relay messages that I need to give him.
So, what I need is someone who can write out, phonetically, some phrases that I might occasionally need to say to him.
-
We will be closed Monday/Friday because of a holiday. Would you like a frozen meal to make up for that day.
-
Are you ok.
-
Do you want me to call an ambulance.
-
Thank you for your donation.
-
You need to have your daughter fill out the information form.
And probably:
- I don’t know your language. Someone wrote this out for me ( I’m thinking this might be necessary just in case he thinks I do )
Can’t think of anymore right now
Thanks
